To all Qlf/(O'IR it may concern:

Be it known that l, WELLER P Tinsnni', a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort North, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Generators, or which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to gas generators, and particularlv for generating hydrocarbon gases of whatever kinds and elements employed. and the object is to provide ample and etlicient means for feeding gas making elements into the lillings or contents located in the generators and to distriliuite uniformly to all parts of a generator the elements fed into the generator and to provide cilicient means for operating the feeding devices and to provide agitating device. working in combination with the feeding devires for agitating the fumes within the generator.

i )ther objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and the invention will pointed out in the claims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form. a part of this application.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the feeding devices within the generator and a sec tional *icw of a generator with a front view of the mechanism for operating the feeding devices. Fig. 2. is an enlarged side elevation of the distributing cup. Fig. 3 is an enlarged bottom view of one of the distrionting pipes. Fig. l is a vertical section oi the box for the feed listributing shaft. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section of the feed operating shaft, taken on the line i\B of Fig. 4, the part of the stuliing box 29 below the line being omitted to show the collar 32.

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

A portion of generator 21 is shown in section with a top 20. A feed cup 22 is carried by a vertical shaft 4*. A hearing flange 19 is fixedly attached to the top of the generator and a pipe 2 forming a neck is screwed into the flange 19. A reducer T-pipe 1 is screwed down on the neck and a boss is formed on the upper side of the reducer Tpipe 1. A feed pipe 3 is pro jectcd upwardly within the neck and screwed through the boss 37'to receive a T- be more particularly.

pipe :T-pipe 1 7 1s a four-way T-pi ed in the connection bow ll and pipe 12. The pipe 10 forms support for the bearing 9 in which the shaft 0 is journaled. bevel gear 7 rigidl' mounted on the shaft 8 by a hub 15 zinc set screw 16. The T pipe 5 has a connection it for a pipe to be connected to a supp ly source of material to be ted to the generator. EL collar 32 is rigidly mounted on the shaft l and a bearing (5 has a reduced portion screwed into the T-pipe A gland is pro vided for the shaft and this gland consists of the box 29 screwed into the bearing block 6, a cover 31, and a cap 30 screwed on a reduced portion of the box 2. A bevel gear '4" is rigidly mounted on the upper end of the shaft at by means of a hub 15 and set screw 16.

Distributing pipes 23 are connected to and communicate with the feed cup These pipes have perforations 26 in the lower sides and battle rings 2% are mounted on the pipes beliiw the perforations 26 to cause the mate ial fed to the generator to fall and to prevent the material from cling ing to and running down the under sides of the pipes. The pipes 23 are closed at the outer ends by caps 25. At the inner ends the pipes 23 are screwed into bosses 2'7 and open into the cup Attention is called to the arrangement of the rings 2- and the perforations 26. The rings and perforations on one pipe are arranged in staggered relation to the rings and perforations on the other pipe so that instead of four circles of 1 a a H i and pipe l is incumby ineans'ot' an feeding material falling, l ere will be eight circles with the devices shown. The pipes 23 carry wings mounted thereon to serve as mixers for fumes which may arise above the gas making material within the generator. The joint between the cup 22 and the pipe 3 is not a scaled joint, the cup turning t'rcel'y about the pipe The generator is to be charged with whatever material that may be desired for malting gas. The liquid elements are to be fed through the pipe 2), comingin the opening H. (.ouipresscd air is fed through the w 1 To lit,

\i' into the generator. driven by air sniiat the shaft l and th and agitating w Various changes may be made in the feeding devices without departing from my invention.

What I claim, is,

1) Feeding devices for gas generators comprising a liquid container suspended within a generator, perforated distributing arms connected to and communicating with and carried by said container, bafiie rings mounted on said arms, the bafiie rings on each arm being placed at different distances from the container relative to the baffle rings on every other arm and means for rotating saidcontainer.

2. In a generator provided with a perforated top, a hollow neck connected in'the perforation in said top, a connection with said neck for feeding compressed air into the generator, a pipe projected through said neck for feeding liquid elements to the gen- WALLER P. TINSLEY.
